They could do that, but it would be at the cost of much higher battery usage. As others pointed out, the hr monitor is much less active during times of "non-exercise", primarily to save on the battery I would guess. With the hr monitor as active as it is in exercise mode, we could never expect the Band to make it through the day (or even a significant portion thereof) without recharging.
